Conclusion

This report examines the tensile strength of mild steel and high tensile steel specimens. Load is applied uniformly to each specimen until it breaks. The high tensile steel is able to withstand higher stresses before necking and fracturing, making it a tougher material than mild steel. By developing stress-strain curves and integrating them with respect to strain, additional properties like yield strength and elongation can be determined and compared between the materials.

This report examines the strength of two specimen and their

behaviours when put into test by applying tension on it.The two specimen
are black mild steel and high tensile steel.Load is applied uniformly on the
specimen and it starts to neck in the middle section and after a special
point it breaks.This varies on the specimen used.
The load is applied from zero and increased uniformly until the
specimen breaks.When load is applied on the metal it starts to elongate
and the elongation depends on the metal. After a point the metal breaks
after showing much elongation at its ultimate load point.
The high tensile steel specimen has an ultimate tensile strength value
which is greater than that of mild steel.This implies that the high tensile
steel can sustain higher stresses before necking and inevitably
fracturing.Therefore, it can be concluded that the high tensile steel is a
tougher material than the mild steel.Another method of determining the
strength of a material is using the stress-strain curve.Develop an equation
for the stress-strain curve and integrate it with respect to the strain axis.
In conclusion we found out how much load these metals can sustain
until it breaks,the elasticity,fracture shape,metal features, and from the
graph we canfind the ultimate tensile stress, yield proof stress, % of area
reduction and % of elongation.
